1) Understand that you will spend hours traveling from point to point throughout Africa. For the most part, reviewers have been very down on this aspect of the game. If you play it, you must learn to embrace it. As it may take you 30 minutes to find the next objective, the experience in getting there is filled with surprises, attacks and places to explore. Not to mention the vast and beautiful African landscape. Just don't rush to the next objective. Go with the knowledge that it's an adventure all in itself just getting there.

2) The game has the most idiotic A.I. that I have ever seen in a FPS. You can shoot the enemy square in the temple from point blank range and they will not flinch. The will also appear right in front of you and never see you as you lazily walk up to them and cut their head off. You never know what they are going to do. You will shoot many enemies several times. Some will die if you breath on them. This aspect of the game really detracts from the overall enjoyment.

I'm still playing....and I am enjoying the game. It's huge, almost too long. Other reviewers have also said that the game play is repititious. It's not....at least no more than any other game that only has one locale in which it takes place. The game is exactly what it is supposed to be. A battle inside Africa.

Take your time, and you should find hours and hours of fierce shooting action.

    It is an all-too-often used phrase to describe a game, but generaly one that boasts to be 'free-roaming' is a lot of fun, presenting you with the freedom to enjoy yourself in whatever way you want. Far Cry 2 however took... Read Full Review
